Rob said the experiences gained were invaluable to the students' learning experience: "It was another fantastic day to practise and perfect techniques on these giant athletes.

"There was a strong ask for soft tissue therapy coupled with a number of sport related pulls and sprains, which allowed the students to further develop their skills."

One of the group, Obed Attah, has already built up an impressive CV during the course of his studies, including working with Preston North End Women FC and the Rugby Football Union.

He commented: "Having the opportunity to massage some of the strongest guys in the North West has improved my clinical handling and I've developed new skills for my final year. Rob supported us throughout the whole day, showing us techniques he's developed as a physio over the years."
